Ok, so we are talking about exploiting a Windows machine running a webserver serving PHP.
Just to calm people down, this doesn't mess with your computer just because it runs Windows and you happen to look at a php site.
Only on Windows machines serving PHP using Chinese and Japanese language locales. And it's already been patches some time ago. So the impact is pretty limited, yet a lot of news is being reported like the world is ending.
Damn, I only skimmed the article, this is completely blown out of proportion
